Lyrics Cathy With The Curly Hair - Eleanor Friedberger

Cathy With The Curly Hair

Do you still live with Cathy with the curly hair?
Yeah, but I’ve been waiting for a tall, half-Greek girl
To take me away from here
We met in December when you got snowed in
Talked for twelve or fifteen hours
I don’t know where to begin
But if you’d ask me, I wouldn’t care
And if you’d met me, I’d be there
But if you’d let me, I wouldn’t dare
But if you’d let me
We talked again on Valentine’s day
But you stayed away, oh
And I know that you were right
And I know that you were wrong
Somewhere behind those blue eyes
And long blonde hair
Oh, yeah your manners were good
And you told me everything I wanted to hear
But if you’d ask me, I wouldn’t care
And if you’d met me, I’d be there
But if you’d let me, I wouldn’t dare
But if you’d let me
You took the bus in LA with the a book in your back pocket
It took you two hours to just to say hi, so I asked:
Do you still remember Cathy with the curly hair?
Yeah, but I’ve been waiting for a tall half-Greek girl
To take me away from here
But if you’d ask me, I wouldn’t care
And if you’d met me, I’d be there
But if you’d let me, no, I wouldn’t dare
But if you’d let me
